Historic Commission approves sign permit for 14 Broad Street, contingent on final permit submission
Summary
The Historic Commission approved a sign application for 14 Broad Street as presented with the dimensions shown on the written application; the applicant was not present and must submit a sign permit and meet a '70 clearance' requirement from the sidewalk (unit not specified in the transcript).
The Historic Commission approved case HTCO4-01-26-09, a sign application for 14 Broad Street, on a motion and voice vote.
A commissioner noted the applicant was not present when the case was called but the commission reviewed the written application and images provided. Commissioners agreed to approve the sign as presented so long as the final installation matches the dimensions on the submitted paperwork. The commission also discussed that the sign must maintain a "70 clearance" from the sidewalk; the transcript does not specify the unit for that figure.
During discussion commissioners emphasized that if the applicant changes the sign design or dimensions from what was submitted in writing, the applicant must return for further review. The commission recorded the approval by voice vote; the applicant still must submit a formal sign permit to staff before installation begins.
The action allows staff to proceed with permit review once the applicant submits the required paperwork. No fees, exact dimensions (beyond the condition that they match the application), or construction dates were stated in the meeting.
